Data from tests confirmed that the original active load balancing logic didn't scale neither in the number of CPU nor in the number of tasks (as sched_rt does). Here we provide a global data structure to keep track of deadlines of the running tasks in the system. The structure is composed by a bitmask showing the free CPUs and a max-heap, needed when the system is heavily loaded. The implementation and concurrent access scheme are kept simple by design. However, our measurements show that we can compete with sched_rt on large multi-CPUs machines [1]. Only the push path is addressed, the extension to use this structure also for pull decisions is straightforward. However, we are currently evaluating different (in order to decrease/avoid contention) data structures to solve possibly both problems. We are also going to re-run tests considering recent changes inside cpupri [2].
